Lazarus of Bethany

Lazarus was the subject of a prominent miracle of Jesus. The brother of Martha and Mary of Bethany, he asked for Jesus to come to his side while he was terminally ill, as Lazarus had followed him and was a good friend. Lazarus had been dead for four times by the time that Jesus arrived, but he was said to have restored him to life, showing that he was also powerful over death. He was later vested as an apostle and bishop.
